That pissing robin. This kit

As for the team. Realistically it doesn't matter who plays in dead rubbers. The back 4 is a bodge job, midfield is a bodge job, who cares who plays up front?

Mehmeti on the bench but Weimann and Bell in makes no sense to me. Weimann has moments but is mostly ineffective for large periods, Bell had a great start but now is basically Conway without the goals and whilst Mehmeti hasn't scored yet he's created numerous key chances that have been squandered by other players. I don't understand benching him when we're already thin on options.

Im inclined to agree, obviously bell and conway have played together for years, so giving them a game in the first team might be interesting to see how they get on though. With conways finishing though, you would think that mehmeti creating chances would be a no brainer

Looks like a "defend from the front" team to me, I feel that despite his close quarters work, Mehmeti doesn't have the pace for hitting teams on the break.

Rotherham beating Baggies 2-1. Five points clear of Cardiff as it stands.

Problem is if he's in Oz then due to the time difference (19:05 in Sydney) he already knows the result

Is his mate Ivan Toney then?

I was hoping this kit was in the gold and blue shirt bin.

I don't care who gets relegated, as long as Cardiff don't stay up.

Possibly wants to bring Mehmeti on after an hour.......as Stoke maybe tiring?   Unfortunately we could be 3-0 down by then?  Ha!   I can see us being over run in midfield today, really hope i am wrong.

I really hope you're wrong.

And on the other hand, I really hope you're wrong.

Jaglieka is nearly 41........you'd think he might be susceptible to pacey forwards......so in that instance, i hope i'm right?

Downsy in the studio today with Mark Sykes.

Big news. Sam Bell has a new haircut.

Will Downsy ask Mr S about his 4-match ban?

How different things might have turned out if Shilton had stayed on his line for that cross.

@bcfcnick Nige has been listening (reading)!!!!  Hope he has a stormer.

Conway starts but will play less mins than last week according to Nige so he can start on Monday.  Mehmeti to come on in the no10?????

Shoot me down , hope I’m wrong  , but with our current form / squad problems it really wouldn’t surprise me if over the 2 games this weekend we come away with a 5 or 6 - 0 aggregate loss . 
 

Don’t get me wrong I think slowly we are going in the right direction I just think our injuries / suspension has come and caught up with us . Playing 2 sides in form albeit Stoke are full of loanees , bit like Hull were when they got promoted 

[Davefevs]

today is the day Ben Pearson finally gets a long awaited red card against us.  Thank me later!!!!

[Lanterne Rouge]

Red button playing up. Clicking on our game gives you Swansea v Coventry. We are on Sheff Utd v Wigan!

[kit]

All the games are mixed up on sky red button. City are on sheffield united option currently for me.

[And Its Smith]

Usually red button games are on Now TV. Not today it seems 

[Mr X]

Any streams today?

[Lanterne Rouge]

They`re struggling with the contrast where the shadow of the stand is.
